When sorrow began to speak,
when sorrow began to speak,
from "Aap" to "Tum," from "Tum" to "Tu,"
when sorrow began to speak.

Messages across the divide, required,
messages, messages across,
what joy when face to face we meet?
what joy when face to face we meet?
from "Aap" to "Tum," from "Tum" to "Tu,"
when sorrow began to speak.

My disgrace now takes its hold, its hold,
my disgrace, my disgrace now takes its hold,
while their fame spreads far and wide,
while their fame spreads far and wide,
from "Aap" to "Tum," from "Tum" to "Tu,"
when sorrow began to speak.

Despair has grown to such a degree, such a degree,
despair has grown to such a degree,
that longing now longs for longing's seed,
that longing now longs for longing's seed.

Now, meeting, let us see what hues unfold,
now, now, meeting, let us see what hues unfold,
and our seeking starts anew,
and our, and our seeking starts anew.

"Daagh" struts with pride today,
longing now longs for longing's seed,
"Daagh" struts with pride today,
"Daagh" struts with pride today,
perhaps their honor blooms at last,
perhaps their honor blooms at last,
from "Aap" to "Tum," from "Tum" to "Tu,"
when sorrow began to speak.
